Kumar, a resident of Rajasthan’s Hanumangarh, was shot on June 2, just after arriving in Kulgam, Kashmir. On CCTV, a terrorist was seen entering the bank and firing at him.
The killing drew concern since it was the latest in a string of targeted homicides in the Valley.
Last year, migrant labourers and minorities in the area began to be targeted.
Kashmiri Pandits are also protesting in Jammu and Kashmir, demanding that they be transferred to safer locations.
Since Rahul Bhat, a Kashmiri Pandit, was shot dead inside the magistrate’s office in Budgam
last month, members of the community have been protesting.
Approximately 4,000 Kashmiri Pandits who were employed in the Valley as part of the Prime Minister’s rehabilitation programme have vowed to flee the Valley because they no longer feel safe.
